A healthy dream

The healthy dream as a title of this post has a literal meaning because it really concerns my health. Years ago, my cholesterol level had always been high and since I learned that women over 35 will always have high cholesterol level, my goal had been a high "good cholesterol or HDL" and low "bad cholesterol or LDL". That is not something I should be proud of however, so it was just a goal and not in my dreams list.

Until I've started to test the effects of the Tiens supplements I was taking. I started with Chitosan for cleansing for two weeks only and my low HDL and hign LDL were reversed. After cleansing, I tried Cordyceps and Spirulina separately. Both gave good results because they both lowered my cholesterol level. In my last blood test, my sugar, uric acid and cholesterol all decreased. My cholesterol is now just .5 away from the normal value. I believe that the synergy of Cordyceps and Spirulina will finally make all my blood chemistry values normal. That is something I should be proud of, so I am now including it in my dreams list. It was an impossible dream, but not anymore.

Did I dream of Venice?

I was trying to research for an interpretation of my dream in my sleep last weekend (Friday or Saturday), which was one of the weirdest since I started blogging. There were just two scenes in my dream.

The first scene was on a sidewalk that looked like the one beside the building of the last company where I was employed (the one with a Cafe in front of the building). On the road beside that sidewalk was a "flood". I can see just that part of the sidewalk so I can't tell the extent of the flood, it was just that the water looked "whitish" or "soapy without suds". What was weird was that there were tables and chairs on the sidewalk and people were eating there joyfully, one of them was my female officemate a long time ago.

Another scene was another flooded part of the road, I was looking from afar on the same road where there was no flood maybe because it was higher. I can see that the water was clear because I can even see the stones under the water. I was thinking maybe we can swim there but I was not serious because it was a road.

I've read a book about the meaning of dreams and this was what I've read:
=> Flood means there is or there will be overflowing of emotions. But as I've said, there were only portions with flood in my dream.
=> The road is the highway of life.
=> Water can have different meanings, depending if it is dirty, clear or whatever.
=> Stones mean stability, so that would be a good meaning since I saw them on the road, which is the highway of life, but I wonder what the clear water meant. It could be good also, I suppose. Can anybody help me to interpret that scene?

I was left with the interpretation of that sidewalk with the tables until I remembered our travel in Preveza, Greece, where there were restaurants with tables outside, just beside the port area. I researched for photos hoping to find a view similar to my dream to show it here it my blog so people can help me interpret my dream. It was awesome to find a very similar water (whitish or soapy) that I saw in my dream, though my dream was a much closer view of the water and sidewalk with tables and people, no boats or other objects. The photo shows the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy.

Follow your dream!

My dream to go to Europe this year with the choir of my children was dependent on my winning a Lotto, but my winning a photo contest that I discovered on the web lately, will also give me the chance to at least go to Italy. This is the country in Europe I wouldn’t want to miss in case I’ll be blessed to go to this continent the second time around.

The photo contest was really a very inspiring news for me, so I’m now very busy selecting photos for my entries. There are a lot of good amateur photographers, but I shouldn’t lose hope. If my destiny is to go to Europe this July, then I will win. The last time I went to Europe, it was with the choir of my son but we only went to Greece. It was a priceless experience though, an AMAZING GRACE , because the choir of my son won three golds and the grand prize, and more than that, little miracles happened.

My son and daughter’s current choir, the Novo Concertante Manila, will be participating in a contest in Spain and they should leave on July 5. The photo contest’s finale will be on July 10 and 11 in Italy. This coming July, the Feng Shui forecast for both my daughter and me (Monkey and Snake) is a windfall luck. When I’ve read that earlier this year, I was thinking maybe the choir will win, because they will be in Europe for three weeks, but how about me? Maybe I will win the Lotto!

All I can do now is pray hard because it’s not only the Lotto I am counting on this time. It’s nice to know there is bigger chance for my dream to come true. That goes to show that seriously following a dream will open doors to make it come true!

A forgotten dream

Sometimes the dreams in our sleep remind us of dreams or goals that we seem to have forgotten. Last night, I dreamed that I was about to go to U.S.A. The reason was not clear in my dream. When I woke up, I was still thinking about it till I was reminded of a goal or dream I intentionally have forgotten because of lack of funds for transportation. It has been a dream to bring Lyca, my special needs child to an Elks center in the U.S. for children with cerebral palsy.

Maybe I should pursue that plan, or at least start to study the possibility of pursuing it. What remains in the adoption of Lyca is the registration of her birth using her new name but we still have to wait till the 30 days is over, from the day the finality of the court's decision was released. I haven't even checked yet how long we should wait but time flies and for all we know we should already be attending to the registration of her birth.

I'm now very careful with every cent that I get and that is probably the reason why I've ignored to think about that plan though there's a possibility a real property where we have a share might be sold this year. I think I've connected that particular plan too much to winning the Lotto to cover the expenses, because just before that dream in my sleep, I was thinking of a new dream to put up a Wellness Center if the real property I was talking about will be sold.

My dream last night has somehow enlightened me to prioritize people like Lyca, over new business plans. I just hope and pray that God will continue to lead me to the right path, even through the dreams in my sleep.
